Ming Dynasty: Abandoned baby at the beginning, Zhu let me be the emperor

"Are you the emperor's grandson?"

Even that young man looked at Zhu Ming with disbelief.

How could the emperor's grandson appear in such a place?

"Replacement guaranteed."

Zhu Ming nodded. Besides proving his identity, he now had more important things to do.

He turned around and looked coldly at the magistrate who was almost kneeling down.

Without saying anything, just this look was enough to make the magistrate break out in a cold sweat.

He looked around and saw the Jinyiwei who were surrounding him with serious faces.

With just one word from the emperor's grandson, these Jinyiwei would chop off their heads.

"How to do?"

Zhu Ming spoke slowly and in a deep voice.

"Your subordinate, your subordinate will...I will arrange the best doctor right away."

The magistrate glanced at the young man and spoke in a panic, stammering for a long time before he could utter a complete sentence.

He also didn't expect that this kid could be connected to the emperor's grandson.

"If he can't stand up in the future, you don't have to stand up in the future either."

Zhu Ming then nodded with satisfaction.

The imperial court had never lacked money for disaster relief. If he had not been an inhumane official, the victims would not have been forced to steal for a living.

The young man standing by couldn't help but sneer at the magistrate's panic.

"why are you laughing?"

Zhu Ming turned his head and asked in confusion.

"Being arrogant at first and respectful later is naturally funny."

The boy didn't care about the problem with his legs at all and was only concerned with making fun of the magistrate's miserable appearance.

If it were any other time, the magistrate would have ordered someone to teach him a lesson, but now he could only stand by and endure it.

This kid has the support of the emperor's grandson, and things are different now.

"Your Highness, this is not the place for idle chat."

Chen Ling stood aside, watching Zhu Ming talking to these people. He showed no intention of leaving, so she had no choice but to remind them.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, please move to the county government office."

The magistrate also tried to persuade him, and in order to save his life, he was even more flattering to the point of being disgusting.

Not to mention that the emperor's grandson would not punish him, even if I put the emperor's grandson in jail and let His Majesty know, my life would be gone.

"Too."

Zhu Ming looked around and had to nod in agreement.

He had been to the imperial prison with the Jinyiwei. This prison was even dirtier and messier than the Jinyiwei's, with snakes, insects, rats and ants running rampant.

"If they are a little bit negligent, you can imagine the consequences."

He glared at the magistrate again before turning and walking outside.

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

Zhaodi saw Zhu Ming was about to leave and quickly shouted out.

"what happened?"

Zhu Ming just looked back at her and asked calmly.

"This child..."

Zhaodi didn't know whether her previous request to Zhu Ming still counted, so she could only push Meihua forward carefully.

"Let's go."

Zhu Ming didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the prison.

Zhaodi didn't say much, just lowered her head, with a hint of loss in her eyes.

She didn't have any resentment. After all, she was not the emperor's grandson and she couldn't even have a full meal.

"My lord, my lord."

The magistrate watched Zhu Ming leave, and he didn't seem to blame himself, but the stone in his heart was still there.

He grabbed Chen Ling, who was about to leave with Zhu Ming, and spoke carefully.

"what's up?"

Chen Ling looked at the magistrate holding her hand with disdain and spoke with disgust.

This guy's performance just now made him feel a little uncomfortable.

What's more, he has already offended His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor and his future is ruined. There is no reason for me to speak nicely to him.

The magistrate immediately pulled his hand back and smiled awkwardly.

"My Lord, what kind of person is His Royal Highness the Grandson?"

As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his pocket and placed it in Chen Ling's hand.

"Bless yourself."

Chen Ling naturally understood what the magistrate meant.

He had seen this kind of tactics many times in the Jinyiwei prison.

He had offended the emperor's grandson, and now if he wanted to keep his official hat, he could only ask the emperor's grandson to show mercy.

Only then did he come to me to ask about the emperor's grandson so that he could please him.

However, the magistrate seemed to have forgotten that he was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and was not so easily bribed.

After saying that, he led the Jinyiwei and followed Zhu Ming and left together.

After coming out of prison, Zhu Ming washed himself thoroughly, changed into nice clothes, and then sat down in the seat of honor in the county government office.

While he was washing up, the people below had already prepared the food and put it on the table.

In order to make Zhu Ming forgive his previous offense, the magistrate paid extra attention to these things.

Zhu Ming was already starving after eating only a few bites of dry food and a bowl of porridge a day.

"Just looking at these vegetables, you can't tell that this place is suffering from a disaster."

Zhu Ming shook his head. He finally knew where the money for disaster relief had been used.

This is not disaster relief, it is clearly relief for these county magistrates.

The fact that he was imprisoned was secondary and he could let it go.

But other things are not so easy to deal with.

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

Not long after, Zhaodi and Meihua, mother and daughter, also washed and dressed up, changed into clean clothes, and were led over by the servants.

"It still looks better now."

Zhu Ming nodded. Regardless of whether it looked good or not, at least it looked clean and pleasing to the eye. However, his face looked a little haggard because he had been hungry for too long.

He waved his hand again and called Meihua over. Anyway, he and Liu Jin couldn't finish the food.

Meihua was not polite either. She looked at the food that she had never seen before and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Zhaodi could see that this grandson of the emperor was still kind-hearted.

"If you want me to adopt her, I'm afraid that's not possible. Grandpa Huang won't agree."

Zhu Ming touched Meihua's head. She was much younger than him and was at the age of innocence.

"I know."

Zhaodi nodded. The emperor grandfather that Zhu Ming mentioned was naturally the current emperor.

I am extremely grateful to have this opportunity.

"but……"

As Zhu Ming spoke, he suddenly dragged out his tone. He indeed could not adopt Meihua, but he could take care of them.

"I came out alone this time. Besides Liu Jin, I am also missing a maid. If you are not afraid of Meihua being wronged, I will give her five taels of silver a month."

Although I can't adopt Meihua, I believe Old Zhu won't say anything if I find her a maid.

Hearing Zhu Ming's words, Zhaodi raised her head gratefully, opening her mouth but unable to speak.

"Why, don't you want to?"

Zhu Ming laughed. As the grandson of the emperor, he couldn't bear to see the people suffer like this.

What's more, this mother and daughter have helped me a lot, so I should take care of them.

"I thank your Majesty the Grandson for his great kindness."

Zhaodi finally reacted and was about to kneel down.
